180 Gallon Malawi Tank 11202007

My Malawi Hap/Peacock tank from November 20, 2007. I just redid the rockwork and shuffled the fish around between my tanks, so this is all new territory, and they're all trying to find their territory.
I had just added a Mylochromis Lateristriga, and he immediately took on full color and had to take some video.
I didn't take my time with this one.
Enjoy!

Hey man, beautiful fish........great selection of species/colors. I really hate when other people have anything negative to say and I really don't want to be one of them but....I can't resist. Try getting a powerhead to circulate the water more for some air for the fish to breathe. I notice they're breathing fast and the water isn't moving too much. I did the same thing without enough oxygen and I learned the hard way. Even an airstone will work good. Keep up the good work buddy

I don't take it the wrong way.

However, this video immediately after rearranging the rocks, changing the water, and adding a fish(Mylochromis). That's a lot of stress, and it's why they're breathing hard. That is not typical, but a good eye on your part.

The tank has two eheim Aquaballs powerheards and 3 eheim 2217's and 2 powerheads.

I shot the video because the Mylochromis colored up so much when he was added to the tank.
